ah the jokes. Do you know how many dead spots there are in the islands or how often there is simply no wireless service available. Picture this you just found all your groceries and are heading to cashier too pay and what's this? no service on the phone? Well how am I supposed to pay for these groceries... Central Bank needs to get to grips with reality.
Lets maybe start with eliminating the extreme tax rate that a Bahamian must pay to buy a piece or real estate back from a foreigner? lets stick to the easy stuff. Then when there are multiple (not just 2 crappy options) for mobile connectivity then we can revisit this idea of a wallet in your phone.
The other day I was in 2 different establishments in the Bahamas and had no service, one was an international airport. So don't try to pay for your flight with a phone wallet. LOL :P
RGD.com is not functioning again. it uses tech from around 2002 so I really dont understand the problems unless there is something going on behind the scenes maybe some sort of power struggle within the gov't or someone is covering something up? Why are all crown leases and grants not fully publically disclosed if there is nothing to hide? Do we the people and tax payers not deserve to know the rate/cost at which Royal Caribbean gets some of the most valuable land in the country? oh right, nevermind.
Why does it take 5 years for a case to get to court? That is the real question. if not we would not need this ankle thing. No really, why 5 years? can we not get the BS corporate white collar stuff out of the courts so they can deal with real crimes? oh, right, nevermind.
as much as I would really really dislike it, I think the time is come to give the idea of concealed carry permits for the general public some very serious thought. or better yet, lets issue a standard firearm to every able bodies voter as a national security measure given the situation in Haiti. We may need to go to war to defend the country from the south...
meanwhiile we can't get insurance here at home in the Bahamas. record profits but "less capacity in the market. Let that sit in for a bit. the industry is insidious but unfortunately neccessary. anyeone want to start a new insurance company with me /s
So we need a doctor and an expensive pharmacist to to control the weed that grows in the backyard. next thing we will be legislating chamomile and lavender tea :)
does the 'learned' one support continuing the very large income to the gangs who need the weed to stay illegal so they can fund their lifestyle? lets talk about the issue with sense and not a 1920's prohibition mindset of one size fits all. Do you take expensive pharmaceuticals is that better just because it is legal?
